Mr Boateng intended to pursue the agenda to allow the party negotiate forty percent of appointments by the party and sixty to the President and his core team.

The Aspiring National Chairman noted that ‘Breaking the Eight’ agenda was not about big English but communicating and explaining government projects to the people.

He said ensuring unity was imperative in the victory process and therefore called on party foot soldiers to be calm and support the party even in tough times because they will soon be rewarded.

Mr Asamoah Boateng said he was contesting to build the party at all levels starting from polling station to Constituency, then Regional, build finances, ensure women empowerment and youth improvement among others to help make the party stronger.
